Yes, your genes are not only inherited from your parents, but also from several generations back. It is possible that you could inherit a gene for shortness from a distant relative.
Yes, it won't only be your dad. For example: Your Uncle from your mom's side is 6 feet 4 inches, you can get your height from him, but it not just your uncle. Its from your family back then. Boys are most likely to get height from their mom's side then their dad's. But ask your mom, " Mom was your family tall?" If yes then there you go.
There is a random genetic reshuffling in the process of sexual reproduction which makes it impossible to predict which parent will prove to be more influential for a given trait such as height; furthermore, genes are not the only determining factor. The diet of this hypothetical child will also play a role.
Well, you won't grow up anymore, but I want to tell you your height is perfect. Not too tall, not too short. Just perfect!
They both are parents and take care of their children.
If you are a male you would most likely be the same height as the dad. If you are a female you would most likely be the same height as the mom.
Short
I am a white guy and I just turned 18 years old and I am 5 feet 7 inches tall. My dad is 5-11 and my mom is 5-1. My granddad's are both around 6 foot and they both and my dad said they grew in college. How likely is it that I will grow? Am I short?
Both because i love both my mom and dad.... :) ;)
It depends on how tall your mom and dad are.
i'd say you would grow up to be like 5'5 in between the both ur dad is five foot and your mom is 5'8 maybe u have more of your dad's jeans to me so youwont be like as tall as your mom if your worried about that
dad

6'11
You will be about 6'3
It depends if you have the dominant or recessive genes. You could be very short, or very tall. You can never tell until you stop growing.
